Hughes has been in support of Ambler Road since we started meeting in 2010. Our Elder at that time wanted jobs for our Tribal members so people will not move to the cities, to try to stop outmigration. We've been struggling to keep our school open for years. The student count needs to be ten kids. If we go under ten kids, our school will close. Parents with children will move. We need year-round jobs for our Tribal members. I know the Ambler Road and Ambler Mining District will provide that for years to come. Thank you.
